Designed in 1949 by Pietro Belluschi this Northwest style house sits adjacent to a stream in a 2-acre garden. The current owners asked us to design a new wing with a sitting room, master bedroom and bath and to renovate the kitchen. Details and materials from the original design were used throughout the addition. Special foundations were employed at the Master Bedroom to protect a mature Japanese maple. In the Master Bath a private garden court opens the shower and lavatory area to generous outside light. In 2004 this project received a citation Award from the Portland AIA Michael Mathers Photography

Private retreat for two - when entertaining large groups - sneak away and enjoy the ambiance of the relaxing sounds of soothing water

Silver Strike flagstone patio replaces what used to be a small lawn and a concrete pad. Low maintenance planting surrounds the patio to make for a relaxing retreat.Stepable plants in between pavers will eventually fill in the cracks.

(C) 2012 Acme Brick Forever-Peace (Eternal Limestone) tile is used on the floor, and 8x24 Wooden Grey Planking stone (laid horizontally) is used on the vanity and shower walls of this beautiful, contemporary master bath remodel

The walk from the driveway is flanked by beds of Liriope as a substitute for turfgrass. With two large dogs, keeping the old lawn in good shape required constant effort. The new planting scheme meets the client's goal to reduce maintenance
